Προλαβαίνω
Άλκηστις Πρωτοψάλτη Lyrics

The lyrics of Άλκηστις Πρωτοψάλτη's song, Προλαβαίνω (I have time), evoke a sense of urgency and the desire to seize the moment. The singer wants to make the most of the time she has with her lover, expressing her passion in vivid and sensual imagery. She expresses her desire to fly like a lightning bolt to the crater of his kiss, a place where she will remain hidden and unreachable by anyone else. She wants to stay forever in that moment of pure love without worrying about anything else, to the point of being willing to unleash chaos in her life to do so. This desire for intimacy and the rawness of emotions conveyed through the lyrics is what makes them so powerful.

The song's seductive melody and powerful vocals contributed to its becoming a hit in Greece, where it was released in 2004. The song topped charts and won several awards, including Best Song of the Year and Best Video Clip. Its popularity also led to several cover versions, and it remains a timeless classic in Greek music. Interestingly, the song's opening notes are inspired by Antonio Vivaldi's concerto for two mandolins, which adds a classical touch to the song.
